When considering high-quality jewelry, 14k gold jewelry is a smart choice. High in style and durability, and even hypoallergenic, these are just a few reasons why 14k gold is a favorite among customers. Jasel Jewelry explores why 14k gold is a must-have for your jewelry collection.

Beauty and Aesthetic

Karats in gold refers to the quality or purity of gold. 14k gold is a mix of 58.3% gold and 41.7% other metals. This higher gold content means 14k gold has a brighter color and shine than lower karat gold. No matter the fashion trends or era, bright gold is never out of style, making 14k gold jewelry a timeless fashion statement.

Versatility

Pure gold is very soft and malleable, making it difficult to work with. When mixed with other metals, gold becomes easier to mold and shape. This means 14k gold is great for intricate and simple designs. For example, 14k gold is perfect for dainty chains used in forever bracelets. Owing to this versatility, 14k gold jewelry can be worn both daily and for special occasions. Jasel Jewelry is proud to offer a wide selection of 14k gold rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, and more.

Durability

Gold becomes stronger and more durable when mixed with other metals. With its higher gold content, 14k gold is a great blend of quality, strength, and style. For example, 14k gold is more scratch and dent-resistant than pure gold. This makes 14k gold ideal for permanent jewelry (intended for all-day, every day wear.)

Hypoallergenic

14k gold possesses hypoallergenic properties. How so? 14k gold has a higher gold content, meaning there is less nickel and zinc (metals that can cause allergic reactions). This makes 14k gold jewelry a great choice for both casual wear and special occasions. After all, no one wants green earlobes or skin irritation, especially at a wedding or celebration. If you're looking for jewelry that minimizes skin irritation and increases comfort, consider 14k gold.

Value

The value of 14k gold jewelry can increase over time. Compare that to fashion jewelry, which has little to no value. If you are considering high-quality, durable jewelry, 14k gold jewelry is worth the investment.

Styling Tips

Here are some tips on how to maximize the wear of your 14k gold jewelry.

Consider Your Personal Style

Do you prefer bright and colorful patterns? Or neutral colors and minimalist styling? Knowing your fashion style will help style your gold jewelry. A simple, small gold chain pairs well with bright, patterned clothes. Larger or more intricate gold pieces complement minimalist fashion trends.

Know the Occasion

Understated pieces are best for professional settings, such as work, and formal occasions. For upbeat occasions and going out, you can wear your boldest statement pieces.

Consider Colors

14k gold's bright luster pairs beautifully with black and navy. Earth tones also make gold “pop.”

Layer Artfully

You can try mixing different chain styles and lengths. For example, you can wear different gold bracelet styles at once. You can also try wearing a dainty gold choker paired with a longer gold chain that is the same or similar in style.

How to Care for Your 14k Jewelry

While 14k gold is very durable, proper care ensures that your jewelry can be worn indefinitely. Proper maintenance also ensures that your jewelry can become an heirloom piece, something that can be passed down by the family for generations to enjoy. To preserve the beauty of 14k gold jewelry, follow these maintenance tips.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Chemicals such as detergent and chlorine can affect the shine of gold jewelry. To preserve the brightness of your jewelry, remove any pieces before washing dishes, bathing, and going into pools and hot tubs.

Properly Store Away Your Jewelry

When not wearing your jewelry, place pieces into individual soft pouches, to reduce the risks of scratches.

Incorporate Regular Cleaning

Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft toothbrush to gently clean 14k jewelry. Rinse thoroughly and use lint free cloth to dry. Avoid using any abrasive materials.

Seek Professional Maintenance

For deeper cleaning, see a professional jeweler to have your jewelry expertly cleaned. They can also examine and identify any possible wear issues.
